As we mentioned above, lean tissue requires more water intake. And one of the functions of lean tissue is to boost metabolism. When you boost your metabolism, you&#8217;re going to increase fat breakdown. So, keep your muscles hydrated!<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">How Do I Know If I&#8217;m Drinking Enough Water?<\/span><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Well, there&#8217;s no exact science to how much water you should be drinking. But you should trust your thirst. If you&#8217;re thirsty drink more water. Special circumstances may require you to drink even more water; like during exercise or warmer weather.\u00a0 Generally, you can tell how hydrated you are by the color of your urine. The darker the yellow, the more dehydrated you are. You want to aim for a pale lemonade-like color.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">But you also don&#8217;t want to over hydrate. When you&#8217;re urine is really pale almost clear or clear, you need to re-hydrate with salts and electrolytes. We go into a new EAA product that&#8217;s great for re-hydrating below, click <a href=\"#7\">HERE<\/a> to jump to the breakdown!<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Macro-Nutrients (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.physiology.org\/doi\/full\/10.1152\/ajpendo.00156.2017\">5<\/a>)<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Almost any weight loss diet blog is going to amplify the effects of a high protein diet. And they&#8217;re not wrong to do so! Protein has this great property. It can actually stimulate energy expenditure. Thus increase absorption, digestion, and metabolism (thermogenesis). And it does this way better than the other macro-nutrients. But&#8230; that doesn&#8217;t mean they don&#8217;t have their place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The ratio of your macro-nutrients doesn&#8217;t directly influence your weight loss success. What matters <em>most<\/em> is calories in VS calories out. But calories aren&#8217;t created equal. And that&#8217;s why diet&#8217;s like IIFYMs are so successful for everyone. Macro-nutrients do, however, influence other factors related to weight loss like how full you feel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">We see these types of comparisons all the time:\u00a0 Broccoli VS Doughnuts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9798 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BvsD.jpg\" alt=\"doughnut vs brocoli\" width=\"489\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BvsD.jpg 3809w, https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BvsD-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BvsD-768x527.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BvsD-1024x703.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BvsD-130x90.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 489px) 100vw, 489px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Energy-wise, 100 calories of broccoli and 100 calories from a doughnut provide the same content. But, 100 calories of broccoli is around 4 cups. That&#8217;s a lot of chewing &#8230;and fiber. With all the fiber in broccoli, you&#8217;ll feel fuller faster.

They are essential for providing your body energy and supporting cell growth. Even more so, fats help your body absorb nutrients and produce hormones. You just need to make sure you&#8217;re eating the <em>good<\/em> fats; monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><em>&#8216;But how does help with weight loss?&#8217;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Omega 3-Fatty acids, aka Fish Oil, aka DHA, is our primary contender here. But we also have healthy fats like MCT oil and coconut oil that also help with weight loss. We&#8217;ll touch on each!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/now-ultra-omega-3-softgels.html\">Omega 3<\/a>&#8216;s: This nutrient can help you lose weight in a few ways. First, it can help with appetite suppression. Which is great for anyone who struggles with cravings. But it also can help increase metabolism. Because of this, you may find yourself burning more calories at the gym.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/now-sports-mct-oil-1000-mg-150-softgels.html\">MCT Oil<\/a>: The first thing to be noted about MCT Oil is that its a saturated fat. Technically a <em>bad<\/em> fat, but there&#8217;s a few cool properties that have created the buzz around it for weight loss. Like fish oil, it can help reduce appetite and may improve metabolism. But what&#8217;s even cooler is that it can help improve gut health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/now-virgin-coconut-oil-1000-mg-120-softgels.html\">Coconut Oil<\/a>: If you haven&#8217;t picked up on the trend yet; coconut oil also helps with reducing appetite and increasing metabolism. But it may target abdominal fat for weight loss better than other fats. The best part of coconut oil is how easy it is to add to your diet. By swapping olive oil and butter with coconut oil, you&#8217;re already getting in on the benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9195 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/carbs.png\" alt=\"low carbs keto\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/carbs.png 300w, https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/carbs-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/carbs-65x65.png 65w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Carbs (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3530364\/\">11<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1111\/obr.12230\">12<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK499830\/\">13)<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Carbs&#8230; one of the first things people decide to cut from their diet is carbs. And there&#8217;s positives and negatives to keto and low carb diets. Firstly they can improve your blood levels of \u201cgood\u201d HDL cholesterol. But cutting carbs may also reduce the number of total LDL particles in your bloodstream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Not only that, but low-carb diets can reverse all five key symptoms of metabolic syndrome. This condition can increase your risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. And probably what you&#8217;re interested in; low-carb diets lead to more short-term weight loss than low-fat diets. Studies also show that cutting carbs can reduce your appetite and calorie intake. But low-carb diets seem to lose their advantage in the long term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Keto and low carbs work by putting your body into a metabolic state called ketosis. When this happens, your body begins relying on burning fat for energy, instead of storing it. But getting to ketosis is always easy and can come with some side effects (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/supplement-reviews\/keto-supplements-review\/\/\">keto flu<\/a>). Luckily there are products like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/keto-lean.html\">Keto Lean<\/a> to help you get to ketosis faster and maintain your energy levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><em>&#8216;Okay, but what if I don&#8217;t want to cut carbs?&#8217;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Like fats, there are <em>good<\/em> carbs and <em>bad<\/em> carbs. Good carbs are like fruit, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. Bad carbs consist of processed foods. So by simply reducing the processed foods in your diet you can still keep carbs in your diet, while losing weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9751 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2.png\" alt=\"WEIGHT LOSS TRAINING HABITS\" width=\"750\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2.png 750w, https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/2-300x100.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Training Habits (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2019\/03\/190329130227.htm\">14<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5556592\/\">15<\/a>) <\/span><a name=\"2\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Everyone knows that eating a healthier diet or adding an exercise routine will help with weight loss.

However, it is essential for preventing weight regain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Research supports that exercise improves:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">cardiovascular fitness,<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">insulin sensitivity,<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">glycemic control of type 2 diabetes,<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">blood pressure,<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">and depression scores<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">To train or not to train isn&#8217;t the only question we want to answer though.<\/span><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">We can break this down even further; aerobic training is more effective for weight loss and fat reduction than resistance training. So if you were relying on weight lifting alone to lose weight, we&#8217;re sorry to disappoint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Again this is going to come down to energy expenditure aka calories.

What they found was that weight loss and fat mass reduction occurred with aerobic training to a more significant degree than with resistance training after the 8-month trial. But more so, resistance training did not enhance the change in total body mass compared to aerobic training alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><em>&#8216;Okay Same Day, but how do I prevent weight regain with exercise?&#8217;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">There was actually a study for that too. In this study, they measured total energy expenditure with the doubly labeled water method. The results suggest that physical activity in the range of 11\u201312 kcal\/kg\/day (900 calories\/day for an 81-kg woman) may be important to prevent weight regain. But keep in mind physical activity means anything resulting in energy expenditure, not just exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">If you&#8217;re struggling to hit that mark, there are simple things you could do. Like take the stairs, walk to closes places you&#8217;d normally drive to, or even take a fat burner.

They are ones we control to do things, like me typing this sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Smooth Muscle<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Our smooth muscles line the inside of blood vessels and organs. They&#8217;re essential for things like digestion.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Cardiac Muscle<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Are cardiac muscles are located in the heart and pump blood throughout our bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Which Muscle Group Does Resistance Training Help?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">All of them! For skeletal muscle, we think of the typical things; increased hypertrophy, protein synthesis, etc. But, for smooth muscle resistance training can improve hypertension. The biggest benefit is for our cardiac muscle. Resistance training for as little as an hour a week can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes from 40-70 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">And for weight loss? Muscle and calories burned have a positive relationship. Meaning when one goes up, the other does as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">How Can You Increase This Process?<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The rate of muscle growth is different for everyone. But there are natural ways you can speed up the process. No, it&#8217;s not pro hormones or steroids..its plant, and we don&#8217;t mean your vegetables. Brassinosteroids and ecdysteroids are natural anabolic agents. There isn&#8217;t a ton of research on there effect in humans but the studies that are available are pretty positive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In fact, it may increase protein synthesis and decrease\/inhibit protein degradation like IGF-1. As well as, increase strength and hypertrophy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">So where can you find these natural anabolic agents?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">We carry a could, some are blends and some are just your plant &#8220;steroid&#8221;. The most common is laxogenin aka 5-Alpha-Hydroxy-Laxogenin. This compound is great for the things we mentioned as well as improving recovery. We&#8217;ll dive more into laxo below! Click <a href=\"#8\">HERE<\/a><\/span> to jump to it!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">But like we mentioned above, there are other compounds other than laxogenin.

But it&#8217;s just that important. In fact, multiple studies indicate a link between lack of sleep and an increase in BMI (body mass index) and weight gain. Like-wise many sleep disorders are worsened by weight gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">What if you sleep enough and don&#8217;t have sleep disorders but wake up feeling un-rested?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Studies\u00a0indicate\u00a0that\u00a0inadequate\u00a0sleep\u00a0can\u00a0trigger\u00a0your hunger\u00a0hormones\u00a0(ghrelin\u00a0and\u00a0leptin).\u00a0This\u00a0means\u00a0that\u00a0poor sleep\u00a0can\u00a0increase\u00a0your\u00a0appetite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">So\u00a0how\u00a0much\u00a0sleep\u00a0is\u00a0required?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">This may come to a shock to you. But according to the Mayo Clinic, the amount of sleep recommended for adults is 7-9 hours.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Now we understand some people feel rested and ready to go in a short span of time, but this may reflect back in more complex mental tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Luckily\u00a0there\u00a0are\u00a0natural\u00a0ways\u00a0to\u00a0improve\u00a0your\u00a0sleep\u00a0and how\u00a0fast\u00a0you\u00a0fall\u00a0asleep.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">First and foremost, you should aim to go to sleep at the same time each day. This helps your body establish an internal clock. This next tip may scare you away, but, you should try not to sleep in on the weekends. We hate this one too! The thing is, the difference from weekday to weekend sleep cycles can cause jet-lag symptoms. (Which adds into why Mondays are so difficult).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Another big way to naturally help you sleep faster is controlling your exposure to light. Melatonin is a hormone produced in the body that helps regulate sleep. But it&#8217;s triggered by light exposure. So if at night you have bright lights (from regular lights to devices like your cell phone), you&#8217;re increasing the time it takes to secrete melatonin. Meaning it&#8217;ll take longer for you to fall asleep. Also exercising during the day can help improve your quality of sleep. Whereas exercising at night may make it more difficult to sleep at night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/melatonin-by-optimum-nutrition-3-mg-100-tabs.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2554 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/optimum-melatonin.jpg\" alt=\"Optimum Melatonin\" width=\"185\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/optimum-melatonin.jpg 312w, https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/optimum-melatonin-162x300.jpg 162w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 185px) 100vw, 185px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Melatonin<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">As we stated before, melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the body.

Cortisol is the stress hormone is released by your body during physical assertion or even mental exertion. And whenever you have high cortisol levels it signals the body to store fat and signals the body to burn muscle. So anything that\u2019s going to blunt cortisol to a certain degree is also going to work in your favor. On top of that, it has antioxidant properties and can help improve joint pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/myo-stack.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-9853 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/MYO-STACK.jpg\" alt=\"Myo stack\" width=\"272\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/MYO-STACK.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/MYO-STACK-210x300.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 272px) 100vw, 272px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/myo-stack.html\">Myo stack<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Myo stack on the other is a little different. For starters, it&#8217;s multiple ingredients no just one compound like with laxo. Instead, Myo Stack contains:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Rhaponticum carthamoides<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Ajuga Turkestanica extract<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">25R, spirostan-5a-diol-6-one-3-one<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Probably compounds and extracts you&#8217;re not familiar with. But they work very well together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The rhaponticum carthamoides is an adaptogen. It&#8217;s great for increasing lean mass while reducing fat. But we love it for its effects on performance; both physical and cognitive. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/19457517\">29<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Then you have your Ajuga Turkestanica extract which is our plant steroid. Studies indicate that this plant can improve Notch and Wnt signaling. These pathways become dysfunctional as we age, so younger crowds may not notice these effects right away. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/25268108\">30<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Lastly, we have the 25R, spirostan-5a-diol-6-one-3-one, which is another natural anabolic compound. This compound has been shown to significantly enhance protein synthesis void of any androgenic pathway activity. \u2020<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/recomp-rx-by-blackstone-labs-120-caps.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7234\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/BSL-0038.jpg\" alt=\"recomp rx\" width=\"256\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/BSL-0038.jpg 358w, https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/BSL-0038-210x300.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samedaysupplements.com\/recomp-rx-by-blackstone-labs-120-caps.html\">Recomp RX<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">And our last product is Recomp. Recomp Rx features a very simple formula. It literally contains two ingredients:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Ursolic Acid (125mg)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Banaba Leaf (60mg)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The Ursolic Acid is great for preventing muscle loss (catabolism) and weakness while also promoting hypertrophy. But that&#8217;s not all, some other research indicates, this potent compound stimulates skeletal muscle activity which spurs muscle growth and may reduce fat gain. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/28335087\">31<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The Banaba Leaf contains corosolic acid. This compound helps enhances the body\u2019s glucose-controlling properties. Studies indicate it improves glucose transportation, but also enhance insulin sensitivity. Meaning you&#8217;re body uses carbs for energy and to build muscle first, instead of storing it as body fat.
